My Darling,
Thought I might hear from you tonight but suppose its too quick. It is just next to impossible to get down to business and really work. Guess I’m unsettled and too anxious to see Frank to keep at work. Have never had any success in November. Have one order for blotters for $36.00. My Greeting Card book looks so deserted I have no pleasure in showing it. Expect to go to Waverly in morning and down to Sayre and other Pa. towns–lonesome territory. Will probably not get into Binghamton before Friday noon. If you want me to get anything for you let me know.
Must get to bed.
Your,
John
